Things are real bad out there folks. I would love to be more articulate about it, but I cannot.

CW: Potential way to deal with USPol news (no news in this post)
Here's something that was helpful to me and might be helpful to you: I use the Leechblock add-on to control which websites I can visit at which times. At first after All This Nonsense I just blocked all my socials all day. But I found that unsustainable. I kept overriding the block. So I changed to allowing myself 15 minutes an hour (and still nothing at night or on Shabbos) and that has worked beautifully.

Listening to Brittney Cooper and Rebecca Traister on We Can Do Hard Things, and their ability to articulate where we are, why it matters, and how they're dealing with it is such an argument for the indispensability of public intellectuals.

[#]Bookstodon folk, what is the book that took you longest to read that you actually finished? Mine used to be the one from last year on nuclear secrecy, but it's now going to be eclipsed by this I'm pretty sure. Yet this book is neither long nor difficult. And for clarity it's good and I'm learning a lot! #books #nonfiction #amreading

Well that was a rude start to the morning. Followed a seemingly harmless account called Retro Bay Area on Instagram, only to discover today that they are vaccine denialists. There were people fighting back but also people agreeing in the comments. Insta still has a 'false information about health' reporting option, although I'm 100% sure it's no longer followed up on. This stuff is even more dangerous now that our public health apparatus is going to be captured by these kooks. #sfba

The California Historical Society is permanently closing. That they couldn't find a public or a private sponsor for their crucial work is a big indictment of California right now. The collection is going to Stanford. #sfba #histodons #california #history

Ugh I cannot tell you how much I hate this trend of grown women referring to groups that include themselves as "the X girlies" (the therapy girlies, the fandom girlies, whatever).

Periodic reminder for users of the #SF Public Library system that it has three separate e-book apps with three separate catalogues. So if something isn't available on Libby it is always almost available on Boundless. And Hoopla often has the more academic books that aren't on the other two. #books #reading #libraries #sfba

The school where I taught in 2016 was right across the street from a good-sized natural park where I could just take the children when I was for some reason (cough) emotionally unable to face teaching. This was extremely helpful and I wish it were the case now. We'll probably take lots of walks at any rate.

Do we think that a VPN will work to circumvent the ban or is that too obvious?

I genuinely am finding it too painful to go on TikTok in what may be its last hours. If you think that's ridiculous, that's your prerogative, but also that means you never got to see what the app had to offer (mostly wonderful pets and talented amateur comedians).
